Erie Sunday Gazette.
Notwithstanding the fact that there is a
law requiring the closing of saloons on Sun
day, there is a certain place in South Erie,
the proprietor of which is not over-scrup-
ulOus about such matter, and in quiet way
allows the back door to open on Sunday
night. Last Sunday night the room was
filled with company who were quietly
amusing themselves until, after becoming
somewhat muddled at a late hour they
began to disperse, when a strange
apparition appeared. A woman, strangely
attired in black, came gliding i'll and. un-
invited, took seat.
what do you want?" courteously in
quired the saloon keeker.
"Child of mortality, l want SOULS" she
replied, in hollow, sepulchral tones.
The half-drunken, awe-strcken by
ISLANDERS could stand no more, and rushed
out, leaving the perpleXed proprietor in a
corner.
''Are we all alone?" the woman timidly
inquired after they had left.
I'VE are all alone" was the reply.
The woman arose and removed her mask,
revealing face of marvellous beauty. '''1'
My God! Mary, have you risen from the
dead?" the saloon keeper cried. The rest
of the story is soon told. Some years ago
a promising young man left his country
home to seek his fortune. For a few months
he wrote hopefully to his friends. but as
the months advanced these letters be.
| came more brief, and finally ceased al
| together. Rumors came to the quiet farm
house that he had fallen into bad company,
and that he was dissipated and going tc
| ruin as fast as the devil of drink could send
him. Friends wrote him kind letters, ex-
postulating with him. but without avail.
At last Mary, his twin sister, could endure
the strain no longer, and sought him out.
She was the strange appariton that visited
the saloon. Somehow her brother haG
been informed that she was dead. hence
his surprise wheRn she removed her veil.
The conversation between the long-sepa
rated brother and sister seems to have
made deep impression. He has promised
her that he will return to the old home, and
| that he will not buy. sell or use anything
that can intoxicate as long as he lives.

The kajser's Long Reign.
Correspondence Charleston News.

1t was in 1906 that the French army,
under the first Napoleon, took possession
of Berlin. not to be finally ousted until the
decisive Waterloo in 1918. 1t was at this
period that Prussia's beloved Queen Louise
retreated to koenigsberg, on the eastern
border of the realm, with her two
sons, who were afterward to become
Frederick William ". and the present
kaiser. No great doubt that his mother in
Stilled into him the debt which she per-
sonally owed to the French and Ma
poleon, and which he was to partially
repay in 1870. 1t was then, on the first day
Of 1907. that he entered that army which he
has gradually brought to its present incom-
parable perfection, Then came the Access
sion of his brother in 1910, precisely cen
fury later than that of the great Fred
erck, bringing with it revived hopes which
were not to be realized. The king was
more dilettante than soldier or statesman.
The demands for q constitution and scenes
OF 1S4S were only surpassed in madness
and violence. William must spend some
years in England in a state of semi-eXile.
But five years later he was again in Berlin,
now as prince regent, in which capacity he
was to govern the state during the years of
lingering illness of his childless brother.
In 1861 he became king in name as
we'll; fought with Denmark and added
Schleswig and Holstein to the
Prussian state; decided the future kaiser
ship by an appeal to arms with Austria;
and finally brought his perfected army Or
ganiZation against the third Napoleon, the
result Of which was the annexation of
Alsace-Lorraine and his browning as kaiser
of a once more united Germany in the old
French capital of Versailles. The result
OF the past fifteen years has been to develop
his capital from provincial to metropol-
itan city; to increase its population from
some seven or eight hundred thousand to g
million and a half; to give it the second
position on the continent.

Andrew Jackson and the Veteran.
Nashville American

Andrew Jackson and the Veteran.
Nashville American.
A general in the revolutionary war, who
was well known to Jackson, was post
master of prominent New York town.
He had been an Adams man, and Silas
Wright. one of the ablest representatives
that state ever had, and Martin Van Buren,,
who was then Jackson's secretary of state,
formed a coalition to have the veteran war
rior removed soon after Jackson had taken
the oath Of office. The Scared hero deter
mined to see Jackson and plead his own
cause. He called on jackson at the white
house. The president engaged in familiar
conversation with him, when to his amaze
ment the old soldier said:
Gen. jackson, [ have come here to talk
to you about my office; the politicians want
to take it away from me, and l have moth
ing else to live upon"
The president made no reply till the aged
postmaster began to take off his coat in the
most excited manner, when OLD Hickory
broke out with the inquiry:
What in heavens name are you going
to do?"
''Well, sir, am going to show you my
wounds which l received fighting for my
country against the English"
Put it on at once, slr!' was the reply.
81 am surprised that man of your age
should make such an exhibition of him.
SELF" and the eyes of the iron president
were suffused with tears as without another
word he babe his ancient foe good even
ing.
The next day Wright called upon the
president, and made out his case against the
general, and urged his removal upon the
strongest grounds. He had hardly finished
the last sentence when jackson sprang to
his feet. flung his pipe into the fire and ex-
claimed with great vehemence: II take
the consequences. sir, take the conse-
quences. By the eternal, l will not remove
the old man. can not remove him. Why,
Mr.. Wright, do you know that he carries
more than pound of British lead in his
body?"
That was the last of 1t. He who was
stronger than courts, courtiers or cabinets
pronounced his fat, and the happy old
postmaster next day took the stage and re-
turned home rejoicing.

PYE VERSUS PYE.
Habit Easy to Acquire and Diff
cult to Shake Off.
Texas Siftings.

Texas Strings.
A very queer case-that of Pye versus Pye
was called in New York court. 1t was
divorce suit, and the evidence went to
show the kissing habit is very easy to ac
quire and more difficult to shake off than
the opium or cocaine habit.
From the evidence it appears that Mr..
Tompkins. one of the bOarderS at the Pye
mansion, drifted into the habit of kissing
Mrs. Pye. In fact, it is very little eXag
geration to say that he became, very
chronic Pye bitter. They became so braZen
that their kisses were suggestive of the
ringing of a patent gong. In the PYe fam
lily the kissing seems to have been almost
as persistent and promiscous as that to
which the witnesses testified in the Beecher
case.
MIR. Dempsey, who boarded at the Pye
house, was put on the stand and examined
by a lawyer.
Lawyer-Did you ever see Tompkins kiss
Mrs. Pye.
Witness-Lots of times; and when
didn't see him heard him. There was a
plaintive sobbing gurgle about it that re-
minded one of the exhaust of bath tub.
1t could be heard all over the house.
Lawyer-Did she not resist his kisses?
Witness-Not precisely; but she set her
face very strong against it-that is, against
his mustache. l saw her time and again.
Lawyer-Where did he kiss her?
Witness-Anywhere and everywhere: on
the stairs in the hall, in the dining room, at
his leisure. on the cheek, but usually square
in the mouth.
Lawyer-Was Mr.. Pye present when the
kissing took place?
Witness-He was present occasionally,
but he was not accounted for much. Mrs.
Pye was always present when the kissing
took place. Don't remember of her having
been kissed single time when she was not
present.
Lawyer-Did Mr.. Pye object?
WitnesS-Tompkins never tried to kiss
him.
lawyer mean did Mr.. Pye object to
Tompkins kissing his wife?
Witness-Tompkins didn't have any
wife to kiss. He kissed Mr.. Pyes wife,
but 1 expect if Tompkns had had wife
she would have objected. They often do.
Lawyer-May it please the court, this
witness is showing a disposition to tri1e
with the court.
Court-'The witness will answer tn
questions.
Witness-I am answering the questions
but the attorney is questionin the al
swers.
Lawyer-When did Tompkins kiss Mrs.
Pye?
Witness-Wheneve he had the chance,
| but noticed he didn't kiss her when he
was down town. The only time when he
didn't kiss her was when he was not there
Lawyer-Who did kiss her then?

Blackev, however, fingered little longer
